Citi Ventures Invests in BVNK to Advance Global Stablecoin Infrastructure
Citi Ventures has made a strategic investment in BVNK, a leading stablecoin infrastructure platform, marking another major endorsement of blockchain-based financial innovation.
The move follows earlier backing from Visa, Tiger Global, and Haun Ventures, underscoring growing institutional confidence in stablecoin technology as a backbone for next-generation payments and settlement systems.
“Stablecoins are gaining traction as a tool for faster and more efficient settlement of on-chain and cross-border transactions,” said Arvind Purushotham, Head of Citi Ventures. “BVNK’s enterprise-grade technology and strong execution record make them an ideal partner in this evolving space.”
A Growing Role in Global Financial Infrastructure
BVNK currently processes more than $20 billion annually for enterprises and payment providers worldwide. Its platform powers stablecoin infrastructure for major firms such as Worldpay, Flywire, and dLocal, offering businesses a seamless, compliant gateway into digital asset payments.
“Our mission is to accelerate the global movement of money,” said Jesse Hemson-Struthers, BVNK’s Co-Founder and CEO. “We’re enabling companies to move funds quickly across borders and innovate with stablecoins, without compromising on security or compliance.”
Backed by Regulation and Institutional Adoption
The investment comes amid global regulatory progress, including new frameworks like the GENIUS Act in the U.S., which allows banks to issue stablecoins under defined oversight. For Citi Ventures, the BVNK partnership reflects a long-term bet on the role of tokenized money in modern financial infrastructure.
